Software Engineering Technical Leader
About The Position
Meet the Team Want to shape how thousands of customers connect to Splunk Cloud? Traffic Engineering Infrastructure (TEI) owns the Layer 3 and Layer 4 network that links customers, internal teams, and cloud providers to Splunk Enterprise Cloud across AWS, GCP, Azure, and GovCloud. All customer data and search traffic flows over the network we build, which makes our work foundational to Splunk Cloud. We're a close-knit, collaborative team of five engineers who tackle hard problems together, value balance, and enjoy what we do. Right now we're turning a queue of manual network requests into a self-service platform, and we'd love your help leading the way! Your Impact Set the long-term technical direction for our connectivity platform, from architecture to build vs. buy decisions such as how we deliver IP address management. Write the services, APIs, and infrastructure as code that provision VPCs, VNETs, load balancers, private endpoints, and transit, so customers connect through self-service instead of waiting on hand-built changes. Lead our largest initiatives, from self-service provisioning to forward-looking network architecture that keeps our platform ready for future growth. Mentor engineers through code reviews, design feedback, pairing, and coaching, and shape our standards for code quality, testing, and observability. Take part in our weekly on-call rotation, bringing technical judgment to customer incidents and fixing root causes for good to reduce toil for the whole team.
